Chapter 8: A World Without a Smile

Seven days had passed since Lily left the battle circle, and the four of them were cautiously marching through the mountains and forests wearing cloaks. Although they were far away from the main battle between the Holy Kings and the Thunder Emperor, all the cities they passed through were filled with a heavy atmosphere, and everyone was afraid that the flames of war would fall on their heads at any time.

People have been exhausted by the war, and now the only people who still have the will to fight in this era are the high-ranking and generals of the country, and the people are praying for an early end to the war.

"It's a dead city again......"

Rain looked at the next city from a large tree, and the people reflected in the telescope in his hand were all lifeless. Only the group of people who want to work hard to keep the city running and still work shows that little bit of energy, and there are really too few such people in a city.

"Rest assured, this won't last long. ”

When the rain jumped down, Lily told him that she had placed all the counterfeit equipment she was going to use for a while on the ground and had the other three of them put them on one by one.

"Is anyone going to end this war?"

Putting on a wig and drawing a few shallow scars on her face, she asked Lily in disguise, hoping that they were now like ordinary civilians who had just escaped from the battlefield, hoping to sneak into the city's lodgings.

"Well, if my intelligence doesn't come out wrong, the Holy King has declared war on all the principalities. The weapon that the Holy King possessed, called the "Basket", could be said to be invincible, and no one could stop its advance. ”

"That's the time. ”

Yu, who was already familiar with the history of Belka's time, couldn't help but sigh that among his knowledge, especially the miracle of the Holy King, was the most wonderful. During this period of the king's rebellion, the rise of the Holy King was widely known in later generations.

The title of "The Last Holy King", which brought the chaos of kings to an end, is known almost to the whole world in the future Midcherda.

"So the Holy King has a big chance of winning, right? Is the current Holy King the one we have seen before?"

"There should be no mistake, Her Majesty the Queen who we pretended to be doctors to steal blood in the first place is the one who is now riding on the blue. Now that I think about it, it's a miracle that you and I didn't die, this Holy King didn't just rely on the power of the blue, even she herself has won several kings in a row. ”

After Lily finished all the preparations, she talked to Yetian about the past, and the two of them couldn't help but sweat after recalling the stupid things they had done before, and if they met again, they might fall to the ground.

"I have a problem. ”

"What's wrong?"

"Listen. ”

Rain raised his hand to the two girls in front of him as if he were in the classroom, and together they looked back at the question that Rain was waiting for him.

"If I don't remember wrong, I need the blood of the Holy King's royal family to activate it, can I also activate it now that I'm bleeding all her blood?"

There was a long silence when Rain raised the question, and then soon Yetian threw the issue directly to Lily.

"Lily, you can look it up, the key words are "Holy King Shake Blue", "Activation Conditions", and "Blood", if nothing results you can add the name of the current Holy King. ”

"Well, I'm suddenly a little interested in that, too. ”

Lily put her eyes together and use her inherent skill "Gaia Look", which is to channel all the knowledge and intelligence on this planet into her mind, and it can be said that there is nothing on this planet that Lily does not know, but only if Lily can select the intelligence.

Lily's ability will be completely defenseless when used, so it can be said that she is the most vulnerable, so she generally cannot be used in combat.

However, it would be very appropriate to investigate the intelligence as it is now, and it would be safer to have three people around to protect her.

"The investigation is over, and the results are beyond my expectations. ”

Lily was a little surprised to look at every corner of Rain's body, and Rain felt uncomfortable when she looked at it like that, and he guessed that Lily might have investigated her own business during her search. But Rain was curious about how much she could know. Can this skill show you what you will do in the future?

"So what about the result? Don't sell it here. ”

Yetian seemed to be more anxious to know the answer.

"The answer is that the rain can't be completely manipulated to shake the blue, but if you want to rob it for about five minutes, it's no problem. ”

"Why robbery...... What's going on in detail? ”

Rain's complaining and questioning are also what Yetian wants to ask, and while the three of them are happily discussing, Silver is taking on the duty of a caretaker to keep an eye on the Quartet.

"Actually, although you really have the blood of the Holy King in your body, it is really only that little. Coupled with the fact that the Saint King Oliver himself is not the most advanced successor to the basket, the subject of the blood collection, you are relatively the lowest in the driving ranks. You still have some power to control the blue, but if someone more ordered than you is manipulating, you can hand over the control in five minutes at most. ”

"Oh......"

"What, you've wasted all the blood I've worked so hard to get back. ”

"Can you blame me for that!? At the end of the day, I didn't even plan to get on that ship. ”

"Master, it's almost time to go. ”

When the three of them were about to quarrel, the silver word poured a bucket of cold water from their heads, and the three of them were suddenly calm. Then the three of them packed up and continued to move forward.

"Then why did we choose to stay here, there are still many options if we want to leave the front line. ”

The rain, which easily blended into the city, began to observe the surrounding environment and ask the leader about the night sky.

"You're too late to ask about this question, you didn't ask until we came in. ”

Yetian's eyes looked like she was an idiot, but Rain didn't mind her eyes and responded to her with a smile instead.

"For as long as I am by your side, I am not so-called, after all, I am your knight. ”

"Well, well, I'm about to suspect that you're actually a knight. ”

The night began to be troubled and didn't want to get involved with the rain, so she gave a look and Lily motioned for her to take over her job. Lily saw the interaction between the two of them for some reason, she always looked like a grin, she enjoyed the atmosphere so much, the interaction between the two of them was not at all like what it should be during the war.

Staying in the rain and the night, Lily felt as if she was living in peace, so hot and happy every day.

"Then Sister Lily, please. ”

"Ah, that's a nice sound. Then it's up to my sister to answer your questions, in fact, this is also to complete your previous commission. ”

"Commission?"

Although it was only a few weeks ago for Yetian and Lily, it was a few years ago for Yurai, and he had forgotten a lot of broken things.

"Investigate Suzaku's whereabouts and their submerged base. ”

After hearing Lily's words, Yu's eyes immediately widened, and Suzaku's base was changed to Tenyuki as the base of "CRWO".

"It wouldn't be too dangerous for us to trade like this, and while it's almost certain that both the four gods and the opium are no longer in the base, the mechanisms in there can be tricky. Wouldn't it be very bad for us to make too much noise in the city?"

When Rain reveals the hidden risks one by one, Yetian and Lily also nod their heads in agreement, but the two have no intention of stopping.

"This is not a rare opportunity, first, to find out the bottom of the other party in case the future is affected by uncertain factors, and second, to be able to take their magic guidance skills for themselves, which is simply killing two birds with one stone. ”

Yetian's slightly aggressive remark made Rain a little hard to accept, even though everything she said made perfect sense.

"Besides, didn't you say you would protect me? ”

Yetian's domineering speech made Yu feel helpless, and Yin and Lily, who were next to him, began to snicker, as for who the two were laughing at?

"Okay, let's go. Anyway, if you want to go to hell to travel and rob, I will follow you. ”

"Whoever wants to go to hell is going to heaven. ”

Then the four of them headed to the southeast of the city, where what awaited them was the start of a new journey.
